If that is your definition of 'emo', then I don't see a problem with it and your Mum is over reacting. Slipknot isn't bad at all, it's all gimmicks with the masks and music.
If you fancied some guy who actually cuts himself and is depressed all the time and listens to suicidal music or something, then yes, your mum is right to worry. But other than that, this guy is probably just following emo fashion or whatever. Your mum is stupid to judge him just from the word 'emo', it's prejudice.
